I took a tag that I'd started some time ago and not been sure how to "finish"... Dylusions sprays (a more muted look as it is the tag I used to 'mop up' the wet ink on a first sprayed tag) and Dylusions stamps from Around the Edge.
I made the tissue wrap flower according to the instructions in the book (and on a 12 Tags of Christmas 2011 tag where Tim first showed us the flower) - the first one (not the one I used here) was a bit bigger (didn't measure it) and scruffier!! I think it definitely requires practice, this technique...
Added some pink ribbons and fibres and a Dylusions sentiment brushed lightly with shaded lilac distress ink (can't wait to get my summer ones - that pink would have been perfect here...)
I chose pink for the flower because I thought it looked a bit like a waterlily.....
I am also entering this in Hels' Sunday Stampers challenge "Pretty in Pink" too.
It was Hels' birthday on Wednesday and this is the card I sent her. Hope you had a great day, Hels'.
Fabulous tag & love the card you made for Hels.
ReplyDeleteLoving that tag - and that flower. Cannot believe I have never bought that book - need to remedy that one.
